Chapter 4
It was the begining of December. Hermione had become best friends with Alexis and her and Ron continued to study every night. Not just herbology anymore but eachother, they started to talk about there pasts, intrests, what they wanted to do in the future. When it came to family, Alexis shied. Luckly Ron did not notice.
" Hello Draco" she said, walking down the snowy hill, reaching the boy.
"Hello" he said Dracos arms slid around Alexis as they walked.
"Our fathers were talking and they decided you should come to stay with my dad and I during the holidays."
She was hurt, How could they do this? Ron, Harry ,and Hermione had asked her to stay with them too! Malfoy would certainly forbid it, that's why she told him she was staying at the school.
Why must she do what he ordered?
Why did her father make that agreement with Mr. Malfoy?
Why was she forced to like Draco when she was falling for Ron?
These questions flashed through her mind as they kissed for a long time. I"t felt warm, passionate, and never-ending. But did she want it?
"Harry, I dont know what to do...I think I might love Alexis." Ron asked Harry as they tried to sleep that night in there dormitories.
"Ron, I dont know...I mean who knows what Draco would do?"
" I know but Harry, Ive really gotten to know her...shes wonderful."
Harry realized that Ron did like Alexis especially when Ron was caught fighting Draco the next day.
"Ron, whyd you do it?"Hermione asked later that night.
"He was talking dirt about me and my family."
"Are you sure thats the only reason?"
"Yea" Ron walked out of the room and wen to bed. Hermione then went to Harry who was sitting in a big chair reading a letter sent from Sirius. He was intensely concentrating on the letter.
"Its Alexis isnt it?" Harry didnt answer. " Harry Potter answer me this instant!" she ordered.
"He was at Quidditch practice and saw Draco and her kissing at the lake. He went ballistic. He really likes her."
"Shes furious with him."
